come under increasing pressure to make a u—turn on the proposals laid out in the mini budget which kwasi kwarteng admitted caused turbulence in the financial markets. our economic editor sent us this report from washington. the chancellor has notjust left chancellor has not just left the chancellor has notjust left the residence but has left the entirety of the funds meetings and gone home a day early, flying back home to london, unexpectedly. why? because his team say he wants to consult with senior members of government, basically the prime minister, and his mps about the mini budget which is notjust going down badly in his party but in the financial markets. in fact they are convinced that this wave of that mini budget

will never see the light of day. that is now what kwasi kwarteng has to establish, has to sort out and quickly. why? because the bank of england which was helping support with emergency funding those markets of government borrowing, that funding has been pulled at the end of today. so, really, they have a weekend to sort out what they are going to do. are they going to u—turn? how much are they going to u—turn on or are they going to u—turn on or are they going to face the markets next week? these are very big stakes. a dramatic return to london for the chancellor. they certainly are. to the united states over the congressional committee investigating the storming of the capitol building last year has voted unanimously to subpoena the former president donald trump. the boat came at the end of a session in which the committee presented taped evidence from two of donald trump's closest supporters, steve bannon and roger stone, who were openly

talking about stealing the election before the vote had even been out north american editor sara smith has this report. as a violent mob stormed the capitol, trying to stop congress confirming joe biden as president, elected members were rushed to safety, shown here on this previously unseen footage. at the same time, according to witnesses, donald trump was watching the violence on tv from inside the white house and refusing to tell his supporters to back down. they said somebody was shot. it's just...just horrendous, and all at the instigation of the president of the united states. the committee has heard how the violence inside the capitol was inflamed by a trump tweet accusing his vice president, mike pence, of cowardice for not helping him overturn the election. the impact of that tweet was foreseeable and predictable. it further inflamed the mob,

which was chanting, "hang mike pence," and provoked them to even greater violence. the vice president onlyjust escaped the mob, and then worked with democrats to get congress reconvened. the committee say donald trump demonstrated he did have control over this violent crowd when he eventually told his supporters to go home. he says, "go home," — he says, "go home." after months of investigation, this committee believes it has shown that what happened onjanuary 6 was deliberately orchestrated by donald trump we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion, and every american is entitled to those answers, so we can act now to protect our republic. so, in a dramatic twist, the committee have voted to subpoena donald trump, himself.

and a fantastic sister to her brother, anthony. we miss her every day. ah, ifeel baffled, confused, angry at how the jury could find each of the aggravating factors to have been unanimously recognised, yet somehow incongruously come up with a mitigator that justifies this shooting of 1a students and three of their teachers at a school. i am going to say that i have lost faith certainly in the jury, the system is the system. but we all have to come together and start looking out for one another. we have to stop looking at each individual as if they stand

alone on an island. cruz�*s actions caused the death of my beautiful daughter, gina, 13 of her classmates and three of her teachers. he wounded another 17 of her schoolmates. these things have to be accounted for, and to not have him punished to the fullest extent of the law will encourage others to attack the future of our nation, to attack our students and our teachers at school. the jury should have sent the message saying, these cruel, premeditated and heinous acts deserve that you be put to death as punishment. the attack in one of america's schools, an attack on the future of our country should have been punishable by death. he has no mental issues other

than being a sociopath. he was able to plan this attack, to execute this attack, to move fluidly as he stalked the corridors, looking for more people to kill. those are just facts, and we are very disappointed that people didn't look at the facts in this case and that they seem to have forgotten what a victim looks like. that is why i am doing this interview with my daughter's picture over my shoulder — so that people can know what an innocent victim looks like. tony burke, the president of stand with parkland, the association of safe schools, speaking about his daughter there. to stay with us on bbc news. still to come: full steam ahead. the famous scotsman. 0ne ahead. the famous scotsman. one of the most famous locomotives in the world celebrates 100

part of the energy grid. if we're talking about energy, yes, the winter is coming, it is not supposed to be the coldest winter, may be warmer than previous winters, but it is going to be tough stop the system has resilience built—in. so ukrainians are confident that while it will be tough, there will be able to whether there will be able to whether the winter overall. they have prepared warmup centres for the population. they have evacuation plans as well, so, yes, once again, it is going to be tough but ukrainians are resilient so we are confident we will survive.— we will survive. 0k. just turning _ we will survive. ok. just turning our— we will survive. 0k. just turning our attention - we will survive. 0k. just turning our attention is l turning our attention is prickly to watch nato said it is providing in terms of jammers, in terms of blocking

be providing ukraine with several very important air defence systems, among them, systems provided by germany, not even used by the german army but ukraine will have it. systems produced by norway, spain is providing systems, holland, the uk and the us will be together with ukrainians developing a 3—level air defence system for ukraine. this could not come too soon but it is finally happening and we are confident we will be able to level with this threat thereafter.— thereafter. the wider international - thereafter. the wider i international consensus thereafter. the wider - international consensus is that russia's strategy is not working and that the ukrainian strategy is running circles around russia's lumbering military. is that the sense that you are getting from inside the country as well? yes, russia's strategy is not

working on several levels, obviously not working on the military level, therefore putin had to resort to a very risky move of essentially countrywide mobilisation, already there are reports of immobilised russian soldiers being sent back in body bags. they are not prepared, they don't have fighting experience, so that has been backfiring. the nuclear bach blackmail is so fun not working. russians are retreating across the front line. the financial times reported several, on several western military experts predict ukraine will able to reconquer the city of kherson, which would be a tremendous blow to putin's army and finally vladimir putin is suffering diplomatic setbacks, one after another, the general assembly of the un voted to condemn the annexation, even

greater vote than the one in march condemning the invasion, even the taliban of afghanistan has voted against this. imagine that. and the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe declared russia a terrorist state. military wires, diplomacy wires, putin is not having much success. peter zannayev, thank you for your time and analysis. look at this. isn't that amazing? archaeologist in syria discovered around mosaic which is at least 1500, 1600 years old. many of syria's treasures have been damaged after more than a decade of war but the latest find is being described as the most important archaeological discovery and is the start of the conflict in 2011. all—powerful gods, bloody scenes of battle and a glimpse of art from an ancient world. this mosaic, discovered under

a building in the city of rastan, is said to be one of the rarest of its kind everfound. translation: it's not - the oldest, but it's the rarest in terms of scenery. its age, according to the first estimate, dates back to the fourth century. the mosaic, which measures 1,300 square feet, captures some of the colourful adventures of the roman gods, including the sea god neptune, with no less than a0 mistresses, and the mighty hercules, slaying the amazon queen hippolyta. translation: this hall contains the panel which depicts two - scenes. the main scene represents the amazon war, which is mentioned in the iliad. the second scene represents the god neptune. syria is considered something of an archaeological treasure trove. home to some of the best preserved relics of ancient civilizations. but many precious artefacts have been

destroyed during the civil war, which makes this discovery all the more remarkable. rastan, where this mosaic was discovered, was a rebel stronghold and the scene of intense fighting until it was captured by the syrian government forces in 2018. this floor decoration was found under an old building between two houses on a residential street. the two houses are very cooperative. they can't be abandoned, no matter how important the owners. it's a piece of heritage for the country and the world as a whole. archaeologist plan to continue excavating the surrounding area, and are hoping to unearth more ancient treasures hidden underfoot. tom brada, bbc news. there we go. the most famous steam engine of all time, certainly in british history, elevating 100 years on the track. the flying scotsman has travelled to point 5 million miles and it was the first

by. john maguire, bbc news. amazing. you can reach me on twitter stop we have all your business news coming up in a moment. see you then. goodbye. hello there. as we head towards the weekend, it continues to be quite a messy, eclectic weather story at the moment. this is the situation for friday — this weather front bringing some intense outbreaks of rain through scotland and northern ireland. the same time, we've got this weather front moving through channel coasts. that will just cling onto the south and produce some outbreaks of light drizzle, particularly towards the southeast as we go through the day. the best of the dry weather, wales and northern england, before this weather front starts to spill out of scotland by the middle of the afternoon. behind it, for scotland and northern ireland, brightening up, a breezy afternoon, sunny spells and noticeably fresher here — 10—13 degrees the high. but in the south—east

once again, we'll see those temperatures peaking into the high teens. now, as we move out of friday, we've got more showers starting to push in from the south and west as an area of low pressure moves in. so, cloudier skies here, a milder start to saturday, but where we get some clear slots, those temperatures may well fall away. the jet stream is going to be quite a powerful one over the next few days and it's centred across the uk, and we all know it's the jet stream that drives in areas of low pressure across us. so, as you can see, for the start of the weekend, that low pressure is going to be sitting into the far north—west. it could bring outbreaks of heavy rain to the north and west in particular, so not all of us will see rain through the weekend. 0ne spell of heavy rain moving through northern scotland, sharper showers tucking in behind, but sheltered eastern areas may stay relatively dry and bright throughout the day. and if you dodge those showers, well, you'll still continue to see some warmth — 17—18 degrees once again.

moving out of saturday into sunday, the low is still anchored to the north of scotland. that's where the heaviest of the rain is likely to be, with another front pushing in from the south—west. so, as we go through the day, a relatively dry start, the heavy rain pushing in through south—west england, wales and up along western fringes. so, once again, sheltered eastern areas may stay dry throughout the day, and in the sunshine, still relatively warm for this time of year. i did say it was quite a messy story, but as we go into monday and tuesday, things hopefully will quieten down just a touch. that's it. take care.
